Christchankeith Marshall

Sound designer and composer · Atlanta

I'm Christchankeith Marshall, known professionally as CKAY1. I've been working in sound since I was a kid, and by my early 20s I had a full production credit on Field Mob's Light Poles and Pine Trees (No. 7 Billboard 200). That album opened doors to Def Jam, Island Records, SYCO, and Disturbing Tha Peace.

In 2017 I made the move into film and television, composing for Banana Republic before partnering with WarnerMedia from 2019 through 2022. I designed sound and composed original music for NBA on TNT, TBS, TNT, MLB, and ELeague, work that earned an Emmy Award for Outstanding Live Sport Special (2020 NBA All-Star Game) and an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Playoff Coverage.

Since then I've continued on the film side (Cannes World Film Festival wins for Miles Ryder and Contact Man in 2023) and have expanded N.O.T.E. Productions LLC into a full-service audio post collective handling everything from sound design to Dolby Atmos finishing. If you're here looking for a collaborator, you're in the right place.
